2.3 CONNECTING THE TV SWITCH BOX
The TV Switch Box is designed to be permanently attached to the
user's television set and has an adhesive backing to hold it in place
on a smooth clean surface.
Disconnect the present antenna leads from the VHF terminals on the
back of the television set. Notice whether the antenna cable is the
round, 75 Ohm variety with a screw-on connector or the flat, twin-
lead 300 Ohm cable. Attach it to the matching 75 or 300 Ohm connector
labeled ANTENNA on the side of the TV Switch Box.
Attach the short, flat, twin-lead 300 Ohm cable labeled TV on the
bottom of the TV Switch Box to the VHF screw terminals on the
television. If the television antenna is of the 300 Ohm variety, the
TV Switch Box is installed.
If the television antenna is 75 Ohms, convert the television to
accept the 300 Ohm signal from the TV Switch Box. Refer to Figure 2-1
for instructions on how to convert the television to 300 Ohm antenna
input impedance.
When the COMPUTER - TV switch on the TV Switch Box is in the COMPUTER
position the television receives the RF signals from the ATARI Com-
puter Console. Tune the television to channel 2 or 3, whichever is
weaker in your area. When the switch in the TV position, signals come
from the television antenna.
